BRISBANE business partners Luke Fraser and Adam Flaskas are getting ready to unveil their highly-anticipated overwater bar at the Howard Smith Wharves.
The lads will be opening Mr Percival’s, the octagonal-shaped watering hole directly under the Story Bridge, at an invitation-only launch party on November 29.

Lawyer’s fall from grace continues
Other parts of the $200 million redevelopment will be progressively unveiled in the months ahead, including the Felons Brewery and a row of up-market restaurants.
But one of those new eateries, Andrew Baturo’s Hong Kong-inspired eatery Stanley, is now expected to have its opening delayed by quite a few weeks.
It seems some complications have arisen with the delicate renovations under way in the Heritage-listed Water Police Building and the venue won’t start trading until sometime early in the new year.
